Weekend fun: Paper Airplanes
How far can you make this little airplane go? My current best is 35.7 45.1, and Tom has passed 40. It’s rather unrealistic but tons of fun.

Here are some fun links I’ve found over the last few weeks… A very good summary of how MSN, Yahoo, and Google analyze the web. If more people understood this sort of thing they would know why it is so difficult to get good ranking. Neat magic trick video (no sound). Another video, this one…
So Good, It’s Forgotten
Recently I was doing some work with logos (business cards, desktop backgrounds, etc) for my product. As I was working away, I would periodically save the files to my DropBox. For those who aren’t familiar with Dropbox, it’s an online storage/syncing utility that will make your life much easier (you can thank me later). You…
FlashCard reader
It’s about time I upgrade to a USB 2.0 Flash reader and I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a decent one. I know of plenty that cost about $20 and I want to spend about $10 (because I realize there are some for that price and I cannot tell a difference).
Have you ever been the victim of a crime?
It occurred to me this morning that I’ve never met anyone who had ever been kidnapped. That’s probably a good thing. Once when I was 5 or 6 I was walking down the street with my sister and this old guy offered to give us free candy. Heh. He must’ve been surprised when we said…

Watch this amazing juggler video. It’s amazing.
The caped wonder
TechCrunch is tracking the web 2.0 movement. Cool design. Apparently Ajaxian is one of the more popular blogs about Ajax. Very nice snowfall photos.

46m on my second configuration 2nd throw.
I got a 46.0 as well with a “c” configuration / 46 paperweight / 23 elevator setting and winglets.
I gave the thrower a slight tilt back, his forward hand around the bottom of the darker blue border and his throwing arm pitched back to the point of just before straightening out.
48.0 in practice, but only 45 when I challenged someone.
It’s also fun to see how close you can get it to 0 by making it loop. I got 0.8 meters.
Haha — Using that same configuration as in my previous comment, I can get it to do a loop by throwing too hard and then scrape the ground for 16.6 meters.
Cool.
Hey Chris, you’ve found quite an addictive game! I was able to hit 46.7 after switching to Plane “C” with winglets on, paper weight of 39, and elevators at 43.
Scored 48.2 after a good few tries and after reading some of the pointers on here. Addictive and fun. Thanks for the link, Chris 🙂
If that’s a 10 miles marker. I could whip this out for 36 inches everytime.
Oi, this is addictive! LESS PLAY, MORE WORK! lol
41.8 for me.
